The Master of Science in Nursing programs prepares nurses to meet the community's needs for health care providers/nurses with advanced practice knowledge and skill. Graduates are prepared for advanced practice registered nursing roles as clinical nurse specialists or nurse practitioners, educators, researchers, and healthcare leaders. In addition, the program meets national credentialing exam application requirements and prepares graduates for future doctoral study. During this Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program, students are educated across the continuum from wellness through illness and prepared to care for patients from late adolescents through geriatrics in the primary care setting (community- based, offices, ambulatory care, urgent care, extended care, etc.). At the end of this program, the graduate nurse will be eligible to sit for national certification examinations required for Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner practice and subsequently be eligible for state licensure as a nurse practitioner.
